Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raymond Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Petzel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Daniels might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kung Fu Fighting. Petzel has chosen FOREVER as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
