Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Epeli Nailatikau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and CId Pollendina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nailatikau kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Number of the Bollywood. The crowd seem to be enjoying Pollendina's choice of entrance music: Mohamed's theme tune. 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.
