Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vesa Sykk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuya Shimizu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sykk comes to the cage accompanied by Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name . Shimizu has chosen Negative - Still Alive as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Yuya Shimizu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
