Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Freddie Figgjo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holden Coulfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Figgjo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Edward Grieg. Coulfield has chosen Beastie Boys-Intergalactic as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
