Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Charles Brigante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francois La Poulet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). La Poulet has chosen "chicken dance" song 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.
