Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arshnoor Singh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phoenix Templar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Singh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 2Pac - Hit 'Em Up. 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.
