Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ninja Monk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sensei comes to the cage accompanied by Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy. Monk has chosen On To The Next One as his entrance music. 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 Ninja Monk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Samba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Constantine Titanus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Samba might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bezerker by Love Among Freaks. Titanus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by To Glory. Constantine Titanus told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
