Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Corrida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benjamin Bengazzoni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corrida kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shadowhunter. 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?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hector Linhares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kale Kummola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
