Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rumina Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francis Lambert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lambert has chosen Hilltop Hoods - Fifty In Five as his entrance music. Sato is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Rumina Sato looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
