Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hilio Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Seeberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's entrance music is AC/DC - Back In Black. A fine choice. Seeberg has chosen Alice in chains - Check my brain 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.
