Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Isamu Minowa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dirk Nappa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minowa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is One Minute in Heaven. Nappa has chosen battery as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Braulio Maia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harold Sumrall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Maia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. Harold Sumrall has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
