Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edward Blake (ranked 1966 p4p, 284 weight class) and Attila Skif (ranked 3155 p4p, 423 weight class). Blake kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cry of the Blackbirds. The crowd seem to be enjoying Skif's choice of entrance music: Can't be touched. 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.
