Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Akhmad ShugaR (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bart Morley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think ShugaR might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dagestan. Morley is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Power of Dragon Flame. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
