Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gorge Jurgel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lars Christiansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jurgel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rock N Roll Train. Gorge Jurgel looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nate Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artem Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz comes to the cage accompanied by Tupac Last Muthafucka Breathin. Ivanov has chosen undead as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
