Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peter Stumpp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sasaki Kojiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stumpp might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Macabre - Werewolf Of Bedburg. Kojiro is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Assassin in the Shadows. Sasaki Kojiro will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
