Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Leben (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leben might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crept and We Came- Bone Thugs. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by P.I.M.P.. Chuck Leben could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to John Jones's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Robert Boyd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joel Lagerboy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robert Boyd 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
