Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Dance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Wotton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samuel Dance had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Samuel Dance could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Henry Wotton's chin.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexei Surov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stan Winner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Surov comes into the arena with Amphetamines blaring out of the sound system. Winner has chosen All I Do Is Win - DJ Khaled as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
