Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Charles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thorm Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Charles's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Muddy Waters- Hoochie Coochie Man. Jackson has chosen Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gibson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Futuristic Sex Robotz - If I Ruled The World. Hall has chosen AC/DC - Hell's Bells as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
