Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Petkovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frenchy Fuqua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Petkovic comes to the cage accompanied by BvC Crew - KOSOVO. Fuqua is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Prodigy- Diesal Power. 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.
