Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Osiris Egyptian (ranked 158 p4p, 23 weight class) and Derek Harris (ranked 276 p4p, 39 weight class). Harris has chosen Not again - You all ready dropped? as his entrance music. 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 Derek Harris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Conor Daley (ranked 302 p4p, 43 weight class) and Milktoast Diddlybottom (ranked 81 p4p, 11 weight class). Daley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dropkick Murphy's - Shipping Up To Boston. Diddlybottom has chosen Milquetoast as his entrance music. Milktoast Diddlybottom will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
