Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sir Beocca (ranked 24627 p4p, 3578 weight class) and Patrick Nielson (ranked 532 p4p, 402 weight class). Beocca 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Alok & Mojjo - Love Love feat. Gilsons. Sir Beocca had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max House (ranked 2684 p4p, 1819 weight class) and Sayten Thursar (ranked 336 p4p, 237 weight class). House comes into the arena with HonestKey- Keep Fightin' blaring out of the sound system. 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 Sayten Thursar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
