Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sebastian Monsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunnar Johnsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Monsson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tenacious D - Master Exploder. Johnsson has chosen Kashmir - Led Zeppelin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
