Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fortune Cookie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Griffin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stomp. Cookie has chosen Chinese Rap as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Burgemeister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Chimpo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burgemeister's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Scrappy - Head Bussa. Chimpo has chosen 8 second ride as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Daniel Burgemeister has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
