Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dingleberry Jones (ranked 2410 p4p, 1344 weight class) and Alec Burns (ranked 268 p4p, 159 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hell Yeah. Burns has chosen Alberto Del Rio theme song as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thip Top (ranked 1302 p4p, 931 weight class) and Anton Strålman (ranked 155 p4p, 118 weight class). Top comes to the cage accompanied by Self Destructor - Chevelle. Strålman has chosen Three Kings as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Billy Brown (ranked 932 p4p, 2391 weight class) and Mateusz Biernat (ranked 109 p4p, 266 weight class). Brown kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is CCR - Bad Moon Rising. Biernat comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ballroom Blitz kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Mateusz Biernat told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Milktoast Diddlybottom (ranked 1200 p4p, 1237 weight class) and Full Time Panda (ranked 51 p4p, 56 weight class). Diddlybottom comes to the cage accompanied by Milquetoast. 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 Full Time Panda was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
