Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wendell Sailor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ultimate Brutality (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sailor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blackalicious - It's Going Down. Brutality has chosen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGQY2tMo0K4 as his entrance music. Wendell Sailor had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
