Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vanderley Sylva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirek Saniewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saniewski is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sam przeciwko wszystkim. Vanderley Sylva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
