Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vlad The Impaler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Toons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Impaler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Δράκων . Toons has chosen Release The Pain by Hatesphere as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tommy Toons will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
