Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Harrison (ranked 1126 p4p, 1207 weight class) and Turner Crocop (ranked 131 p4p, 149 weight class). Harrison's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, All of the Above. Crocop has chosen Cro Cop 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.
