Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Walter Payton (ranked 435 p4p, 718 weight class) and Leonzar Kennedy (ranked 69 p4p, 109 weight class). Payton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Andre Nickatina - Yeah. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Butch Frewin (ranked 23 p4p, 122 weight class) and Yago Nascimento (ranked 3 p4p, 9 weight class). Frewin comes to the cage accompanied by Billy the Squid's Water Pistol by The Neptunas. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nascimento's choice of entrance music: Aggressive War Epic Music Collection!. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
