Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Rydeland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deontay Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rydeland might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Robbery - Not sneak attack. Hunter has chosen Juicy as his entrance music. Deontay Hunter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryosuke Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silva Zoldyck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zoldyck has chosen You've Seen The Butcher by Deftones as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
