Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maunu Tua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King Jones struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs 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. King Jones told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kiyoshi Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tanom Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matsumoto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Carl Douglas - Kung fu fighting. Jaa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Advanced Training! from the movie Kick Boxer!. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Abdullah Zaire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forrest Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gump has chosen Louie Armstrong - What a Wonderful World as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Abdullah Zaire has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Abdullah Zaire seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
