Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between MSgt. Ernest G. Bilko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ernest G. Bilko and Jan David. Chooooooooon! I think Bilko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angerville feat. Bishop Brigante - Highway Of Life. David has chosen Pity the Man With the Fast Right Hand as his entrance music. 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.
