Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between AJ Llewellyn (ranked 2168 p4p, 1832 weight class) and Tama Ruiha (ranked 307 p4p, 246 weight class). Llewellyn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Doomsday. Ruiha is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Polynesian Traditional Music. 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.
