Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dom Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Creed Rightous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slayer - War Ensamble. Rightous has chosen I'm Shipping Up To Boston as his entrance music. The key to victory for Dom Jackson has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
