Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Holy Jenova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Slicer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenova kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pink Floyd - Money. Slicer has chosen Morbid Angel - Rapture as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
