Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Helio Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roland Deschain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chavez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandstorm by DJ Darude. Deschain is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: nightrain. Roland Deschain will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lex Titan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddie Figgjo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Figgjo has chosen Edward Grieg as his entrance music.
