Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between London Oswalt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Pembelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Oswalt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Country Boy can Survive. Pembelton has chosen Hail Mary as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
