Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anselmi Hamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poochyena kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This Life - Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. Hamara is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ruoska - Kiroan. 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.
