Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Justin Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kennedy Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lynch comes into the arena with Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me blaring out of the sound system. Michaels is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Folsom Prison Blues cover by Everlast. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Overbury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stark comes into the arena with Dance Hall Days blaring out of the sound system. Overbury comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rule Britannia kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Stark has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Stark seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
