Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bret Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kennedy Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hill kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Wanted Dead Or Alive by Bon Jovi. Kane has chosen Hurt as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Lefebvre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon St August (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pierre Lefebvre had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Pierre Lefebvre could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jon St August 's chin.
