Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Jakobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominick Luc Boivers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jakobs kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Rusty Cage" by Johnny Cash. Luc Boivers has chosen killing in the name of as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dylan Jakobs could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Dominick Luc Boivers's chin.
