Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Hara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Who - Eminence front. Power has chosen Method Man, Redman - Da Rockwilder as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalmar Klason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad to The Bone. Klason has chosen (Hed) Pe - Raise Hell as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
