Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Calm Like A Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paging Faggot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think A Bomb might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to RATM / Calm Like A Bomb. Calm Like A Bomb had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
