Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between LM Fao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fao kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is LMFAO - Sorry For Party Rocking. LM Fao had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.9lbs, 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!
