Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Kimura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frankie Fire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kimura kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is can't be touched. Fire has chosen Skrillex - Ruffneck as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Joe Kimura has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joe Kimura seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antoine Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Numa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wallace comes to the cage accompanied by Pray by Jay-Z feat. Rob Dougan. Numa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ladies and Gentlemen. Antoine Wallace had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Antoine Wallace has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
