Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stefan Borsch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tully Sisyphus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borsch comes to the cage accompanied by Vikingarna - Leende Guldbruna Ögon. Stefan Borsch had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. Stefan Borsch could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tully Sisyphus's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Numero Uno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Steamboat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uno kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is lol. Ricky Steamboat struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Numero Uno has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Numero Uno seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Tilthammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tilthammer's choice of entrance music: The rolling stones - Under my thumb. 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 Henry Tilthammer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
