Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sebastien Linne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Linne comes to the cage accompanied by Arcturus - The Chaos Path. David is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by PRINCE RAMA - RAGHUPATI. 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.
