Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Luca Fleischer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Kessler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fleischer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to King of Kings by Motorhead. 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 Reinhard Galt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DeAngelo Kenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kenner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by ''Death Wish'' by Jadakiss feat. Lil Wayne. 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?
