Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Atomic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ankit Gupta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Atomic's entrance music is Bow Down - 2pac ft. Ice Cube. A fine choice. Gupta has chosen T.I. - Go Get It as his entrance music. Gupta has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
