Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Odchigin Khadan (ranked 633 p4p, 619 weight class) and Stanley Steele (ranked 99 p4p, 96 weight class). Khadan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Altai Kai (Turkic Throat Singing). Steele is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Manowar - Heart of Steel. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
