Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peppu Reiska MacDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jones Zica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacDonald kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Placebo - Pure Morning. Zica has chosen Master of Puppets by Metallica 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.
