Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Logan Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patricio Tavares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson comes to the ring accompanied by Clouds over Califorina-Devil Driver. Tavares has chosen Armin van Buuren - Sail as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Patricio Tavares will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
