Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dante Evangelisti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Obasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Evangelisti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hell's Gate. The crowd seem to be enjoying Obasi's choice of entrance music: 6' 7''. 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.
