Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jayden Marsh (ranked 1624 p4p, 2248 weight class) and Mario Isaksson (ranked 203 p4p, 269 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marsh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. Mario Isaksson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Mike (ranked 1842 p4p, 2106 weight class) and Zahar Krulov (ranked 219 p4p, 249 weight class). Mike has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
