Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thai Striker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Saliva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Striker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rage Against The Machine - Killing in The Name. Saliva has chosen Macaco da Ribeira as his entrance music. 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.
