Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rakhmetov Chernyshevsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morgan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - Hurt. Chernyshevsky is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Sisters of Mercy -- Lucretia. Rakhmetov Chernyshevsky has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
