Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Combat Jack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keith Raw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jack kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Die for Metal. Raw comes into a darkened arena with his song building. DMX - X Gonna Give It To Ya kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
