Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Slade Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Dango (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson's entrance music is Hypnotize - The Notorious B.I.G.. A fine choice. Dango has chosen ChaChaLaLa as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
