Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonidas Katsaros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabe Christianson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katsaros kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 卍 卍 卍. The crowd seem to be enjoying Christianson's choice of entrance music: Like a Boss. 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.
