Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lou Slugger (ranked 702 p4p, 1982 weight class) and Hiro Manowaru (ranked 90 p4p, 237 weight class). Slugger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Heavy Metal we will die!. The crowd seem to be enjoying Manowaru's choice of entrance music: Lay Down. On his way into the cage it seems that Lou Slugger has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lou Slugger seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ranger Alderidge (ranked 26 p4p, 137 weight class) and Kurt Cobain (ranked 5 p4p, 23 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alderidge might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Portland, Oregon. Cobain has chosen Smells Like Teen Spirit as his entrance music. Ranger Alderidge has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
