Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jasper Wilton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael MacRoberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacRoberts has chosen Pretty Vacant by The Sex Pistols as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jasper Wilton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
