Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yen Askren (ranked 2232 p4p, 302 weight class) and Didier Misalooba (ranked 1747 p4p, 237 weight class). Askren kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hello from the Askren Side. Misalooba comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Beyond the Black kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
