Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jackerz Warz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abubakar Solomon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is http://youtu.be/XstrpkqT6dw. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eks Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaydub Spliffenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Man might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy 'Invaders Must Die' . Spliffenberger is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Roll 'em Up. Jaydub Spliffenberger has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
