Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Trejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hashmallim Zadkiel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Trejo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Six Blade Knife. Zadkiel has chosen Morbid Angel - God of emptiness as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
