Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frenchy Fuqua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazaki Fujita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fuqua might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy- Diesal Power. Fujita has chosen Metallica-Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Kazaki Fujita has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
