Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Soham Roy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goldman's entrance music is Bomb Hands -Social Code. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Soham Roy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ghiorghos Papadopoulos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donkey Kong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Papadopoulos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bloodsport Soundtrack - Fight To Survive (Extended Version). Kong has chosen Awesome Donkey Kong 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.
