Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Boy Walton (ranked 810 p4p, 533 weight class) and Douglas Sampson (ranked 40 p4p, 14 weight class). Sampson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sunshine (ft. Anthony Hamilton) - Twista kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
