Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greg Coleman (ranked 1222 p4p, 193 weight class) and Viktor Grishin (ranked 2641 p4p, 374 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coleman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Mother Earth - Not Quite Sonic. Grishin has chosen Danger 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stu Grimson (ranked 398 p4p, 37 weight class) and Conrad Hauser (ranked 704 p4p, 77 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grimson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Omerta - Lamb of God. Stu Grimson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Conrad Hauser's chin.
