Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Heath Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willians Trautman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wild International.

Willians Trautman is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
