Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zero Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Onkel Bergmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bergmann has chosen Never Give Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hero has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rumina Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Whitehope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sato's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Call to prayer of islam. Whitehope has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumina Sato could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mark Whitehope's chin.
