Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Franz Kafka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trent Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kafka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Haters Gonna Hate. The crowd seem to be enjoying Pope's choice of entrance music: LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It . 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.
