Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toke Axelsen (ranked 531 p4p, 1115 weight class) and Beanin Jiet (ranked 68 p4p, 143 weight class). Axelsen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Slipknot - The Virus of Life. 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.
