Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Mulligan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Todd Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mulligan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Primus-- Wynonas big brown beaver. Anderson has chosen Death Bound as his entrance music. Mickey Mulligan could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Todd Anderson's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Ohlrich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Manson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Manson has chosen Helter Skelter as his entrance music. Charlie Manson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
