Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Conor Tiernan (ranked 1980 p4p, 236 weight class) and Rico Cole (ranked 1382 p4p, 169 weight class). Tiernan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tartanic - Unavoidable - 09 BAllZ/Ringworm. Cole has chosen Gerardo's Rico Suave as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Teodors Ozolinsh (ranked 281 p4p, 36 weight class) and Don Gotti (ranked 386 p4p, 48 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
