Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Olyn Seran (ranked 962 p4p, 843 weight class) and Georges Moxley (ranked 118 p4p, 98 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Seran might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sound of Silence - Disturbed. Moxley has chosen Andre Nickatina - Color of the Benz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
