Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krug Barishkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffery Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barishkov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Angel of Death - Slayer. Green has chosen King Of Rock - Run DMC as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
