Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bret Hart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Putzillini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hart kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Vertigo - U2. Putzillini has chosen Battle March Medley as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bret Hart has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Foul Play (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quentin Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Play might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Simon Says-Pharaohe Monche. Cane has chosen Alice In Chains - Man In The Box as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
