Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derek Boogaard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tural Agaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boogaard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Lesson In Violence - Exodus. 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.
