Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Axl Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aznar Thrul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You Could Be Mine. Axl Rose had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
