Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Vujeva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathan Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vujeva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wild Boys. Scott has chosen Down as his entrance music. Mirko Vujeva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, 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. Mirko Vujeva is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
