Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jasiek Pioncha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Sonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pioncha kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Redemption Song (Bob Marley). 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.
