Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Krejzi Kure (ranked 1920 p4p, 212 weight class) and Vic Stone (ranked 1921 p4p, 213 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kure might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BIG SHUG - who's hard. Stone has chosen George Thorogood - Bad to the Bone 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.
