Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sven Runar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Katsuo Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Runar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Amarth - The Pursuit of Vikings. Watanabe has chosen Metallica - All Nightmare Long as his entrance music. Katsuo Watanabe has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Sven Runar's chin.
