Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Dulin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dragonfly by Shaman's Harvest. Dulin has chosen Slipknot - Before I Forget as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
