Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Toni Touhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Claude Van Damme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Touhu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - TNT. The crowd seem to be enjoying Van Damme's choice of entrance music: Lil Wayne - Troublemaker f. Young Money. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
