Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Taj Mahal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ralf Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Warning. Gracie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mulheres - Martinho da Vila. Ralf Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.7lbs 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. Taj Mahal has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kent Wilkinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esteban Armenteros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilkinson comes into the arena with Hugh and Lisa! blaring out of the sound system.
