Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shuya Nanahara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Pigeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nanahara's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, God Particle. Pigeon has chosen Hank Williams Jr. - Country Boy Can Survive as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shuya Nanahara could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Harry Pigeon's chin.
