Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jon Unbreakable (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jules Clement (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Unbreakable's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Busta and Yelawolf - Break Ya Neck. Clement has chosen Ministère AMER - Sacrifice de Poulets as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
