Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Logan Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dalton Wolfe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sackett's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, She Hates Me. Wolfe has chosen Run this town by Jay-Z as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
