Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaisafa Masoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alice in Chains - Them Bones. Masoe has chosen Bang On by Boo Yaa Tribe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joseph Jones could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gaisafa Masoe's chin.
