Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Katurian Tupolski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ross Swann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tupolski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mobb Deep - Shook Ones part II. Swann has chosen Corey Hart - I Wear My Sunglasses At Night as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
