Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Valentin Nasimentu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kelly Olynyk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nasimentu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ТIК - Бiлi Троянk. Olynyk has chosen Jag - Versace as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kelly Olynyk will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
