Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick Offenhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Sabre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Offenhard's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Galileo Galilei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kojo Sarpong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Galilei's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Les Os. Sarpong has chosen HellRazor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kojo Sarpong will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
