Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brady Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teemu Pukki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Young Buck, TI, The Game, & Ludacris - Stomp. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
