Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quinton Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Can't be Touched. Hunt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ace of Spades by Motorhead. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
