Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jericho Marquardt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boom's entrance music is Fedor Entrance Song. A fine choice. Marquardt has chosen Welcome to the TerrorDome 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.
