Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hector Verama (ranked 167 p4p, 26 weight class) and Champ Kind (ranked 130 p4p, 22 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Verama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Swing It Away. Kind has chosen Afternoon Delight 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!
