Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Vonstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shaw kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vonstein's choice of entrance music: Seether - Remedy. Drake Vonstein will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
