Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joao Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abcesso Necrose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alves's entrance music is Carl Orff - Carmina Burana - André Rieu's version. A fine choice. Necrose has chosen Siegreicher Marsch - Amon Amarth as his entrance music. Abcesso Necrose will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
