Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buck Nutt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Armstrong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Bullet Soul" Switchfoot. Nutt is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: seek n destroy. 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.
