Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Charles Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Max Smith struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Max Smith 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamal Ungowa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Adonis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ungowa comes to the cage accompanied by Type O Negative - Black No. 1. Adonis has chosen Ether as his entrance music. 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 Julius Adonis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
