Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Greg Fitzgerald (ranked 1033 p4p, 1922 weight class) and Pete Kiloe (ranked 141 p4p, 256 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fitzgerald might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Bedtime by Ninja Sex Party. Kiloe has chosen Boys Noize - Lava Lava as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
