Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Demein Colette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Bay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Colette kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is progenies of the great apocalypse. Bay has chosen Feuer Frei as his entrance music. Demein Colette had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Thomas Bay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
