Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Django Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hang Kwon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 100 Black Coffins. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hang Kwon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sarkis Terteryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob comes to the cage accompanied by Notkea rotta - Itä meidän. Terteryan has chosen Röyksopp - The Fear as his entrance music. Billy Bob looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
