Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Angel Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saku Vippera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Meet the Monster" Five Finger Death Punch. Angel Pain had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Angel Pain could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Saku Vippera's chin.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Huggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huggins comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Eminem - Crack A Bottle kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
