Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Craig Clendennon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Luciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clendennon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is LoFidelity Allstars - Battleflag. Luciano comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Still Ballin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
