Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tom Haverford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakub Kochanowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haverford kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jay-Z & Kanye West - N** In Paris. Kochanowski is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Midgard. Tom Haverford is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lambo Aventador (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akseli Suokuokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suokuokka has chosen The Bags - Cavemen Rejoice as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Akseli Suokuokka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
