Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mark Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Justin Moore - I Could Kick Your Ass. Morgan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Champ Is Here kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Scott Morgan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Scott Morgan looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
