Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dandy Swanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davy Nube (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Swanson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kill For Satan. Nube has chosen Boom - P.O.D. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
