Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Parfait PrudHomme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lazarus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). PrudHomme kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chanson des bons Légumes . Jones has chosen Enter Sandman - Metallica as his entrance music. 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.
