Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Voda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Risto Korpisuo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Voda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lamb of God - Walk With Me In Hell. Korpisuo has chosen Eläkeläiset - Humpparaakki as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Akbar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Anastasio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Akbar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to New Slaves. 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.
