Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Kharitonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buddy Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kharitonov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 2pac-Tupac EveryThing They Owe. Guy has chosen Buddy Guy - Five Years as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
