Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Macaco (ranked 406 p4p, 1092 weight class) and Jack Cango (ranked 16 p4p, 36 weight class). Macaco comes to the cage accompanied by Can’t Touch This. Cango has chosen Into Action by Tim Armstrong as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
