Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Guy Kopec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominickoy Sotiropoulos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kopec kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Boats 'N Hoes. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sotiropoulos's choice of entrance music: bodies. Guy Kopec has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Autumn Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaakko Parantainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter comes to the cage accompanied by Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys. The crowd seem to be enjoying Parantainen's choice of entrance music: stam1na - kadonneet kolme sanaa . 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.
