Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcelo Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and CId Pollendina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pollendina's choice of entrance music: Mohamed's theme tune. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
