Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamison McGowen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dante Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGowen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle Without Honor Or Humanity. 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.
