Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Hanna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanna's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lunatic Fringe-Red Rider. Jackson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Out Here Grindin-DJ Khaled. Darius Jackson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Darius Jackson is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Curtis Crews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dana Fertitta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crews comes into the arena with Regulate-Warren G Feat. Nate Dogg blaring out of the sound system. Fertitta is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Frontline - Pillar. Curtis Crews had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dirty Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jermaine Liston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Welcome to the Jungle. Liston has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out-LL Cool J as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
