Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Javier Cabollaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jagkero Batdori (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cabollaro comes to the ring accompanied by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKy611o_3KA&feature=related. Batdori has chosen Huun Hurr Ti-Chira Khoor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Javier Cabollaro looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
