Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sairanix Lokren (ranked 400 p4p, 56 weight class) and Marvin Vettori (ranked 808 p4p, 101 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lokren might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beast. Vettori is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Police On My Back- The Rocketz. Sairanix Lokren could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Marvin Vettori's chin.
