Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Stefan Burczymucha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Almdudler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burczymucha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Their Law. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yoshihiro Imanari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Makoto Shibasaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
