Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Queen Tamar (ranked 2467 p4p, 250 weight class) and Snake Under A T Rex Bottom (ranked 2499 p4p, 253 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tamar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Super Sako. A T Rex Bottom is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by A Tribe Called Kotori. Snake Under A T Rex Bottom struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lee Roy (ranked 954 p4p, 139 weight class) and Yuri Voronov (ranked 1626 p4p, 216 weight class). Roy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cry, Cry, Cry. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kaede Jun (ranked 972 p4p, 110 weight class) and Joonas Olli (ranked 1834 p4p, 198 weight class). Joonas Olli struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Joonas Olli was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
