Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Igor Byhenikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Natalie Renee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Byhenikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Britney Spears - Piece Of Me. 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.
