Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Timofey Boyko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Gajewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boyko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kamaedzitca - Колазварl. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gajewski's choice of entrance music: Stratosphere. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between King Kenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Winchester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kenny comes into the arena with Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire blaring out of the sound system. Winchester has chosen Carry on my wayward son 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Palowakski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Needle In The Hay. Palowakski is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 50 cent ft. Mobb Deep - Outta Control. 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.
