Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Obasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Menace kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Leroy Brown. Obasi has chosen 6' 7'' as his entrance music. Solomon Obasi 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between NumbaOne Stunna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frenchy Fuqua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stunna might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring The Pain. Fuqua has chosen Prodigy- Diesal Power as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
