Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Pluckerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pluckerman comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Wurzels - Pheasant Pluckers Son kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Pluckerman has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
