Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Siouxsie Banshees (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moacyr Domingos De Matos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banshees's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cities in Dust. De Matos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kick Ass. 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.
