Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Austin Houston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson comes to the cage accompanied by The game. Houston comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Born of a Broken Man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Austin Houston was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - The Unforgiven II . Rogers has chosen American Badass by Kid Rock as his entrance music. Lucas Silva could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Steve Rogers's chin.
