Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between SergiO Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ortiz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tupac - Broken Wings. Vera has chosen Black Eyed Peas - Bebot 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.
