Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 1607 p4p, 2053 weight class) and Agnieszka Ostrowski (ranked 117 p4p, 140 weight class). Farrokhzad comes to the cage accompanied by Rastak - Hele Mali (Iranian Fisherman Folk Song). Ostrowski is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mystery Girl- Yeah Yeah Yeahs. 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.

Fish's entrance music is Harry Slash And The Slashtones - This Is Extreme. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins.
