Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Blankenship (ranked 2535 p4p, 5563 weight class) and Lom Ali Maskadov (ranked 183 p4p, 291 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blankenship might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MXC Most Extreme Challenge. Maskadov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Stata - Poisonblack. 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.
