Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bunkechukwu Floyd (ranked 849 p4p, 1295 weight class) and Dani Holguin (ranked 30 p4p, 50 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Floyd might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full. 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.
