Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Demonic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deacon Griggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Demonic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil. Griggs is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Church by T-Pain. On his way into the cage it seems that Demonic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Demonic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Freedmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Niedzwiedzki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freedmen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hero by Skillet. Niedzwiedzki has chosen Nirvana - You know you're right as his entrance music. 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.
