Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Block Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olivier De Troyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Liddell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Raining Blood. De Troyer has chosen Jay Z - Run This Town as his entrance music. 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.
