Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Santeri Sikaniska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lay Pray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sikaniska kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2 Brothers on the 4th floor - Fairytales. Pray has chosen Don't Fear the Reaper- Blue Oyster Cult as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leslie Harp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Madison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Harp might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eternal Erection - Absolutely Free . Madison has chosen I'm in love with a stripper as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jack Madison has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Leslie Harp's chin.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ima Yerface (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad to The Bone. Yerface is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: In Flames - Like You Better Dead. 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?
