Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Putnam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Rickets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Putnam's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, tap out. Rickets has chosen Notorious B.I.G - Juicy as his entrance music. 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.
