Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryu Akutagawa (ranked 224 p4p, 184 weight class) and Quentain Martell (ranked 34 p4p, 25 weight class). Martell has chosen I Pledge Allegiance (Nate Dogg ft. Pharoahe Monch) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Young (ranked 79 p4p, 147 weight class) and Wang Jang Jai (ranked 5 p4p, 10 weight class). Young's entrance music is Real Ganja Man. A fine choice. Jang Jai has chosen Snake Shadow as his entrance music. 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.
