Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jessy Dentler (ranked 613 p4p, 29 weight class) and Alf Konrad (ranked 939 p4p, 47 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dentler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie. 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.
