Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bio Hazzard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hazzard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Warrior's Dance. Rose is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Another One Bites The Dust. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
