Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jally Joseph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Sanchez's choice of entrance music: Naughty by Nature - O.P.P.. Carlos Sanchez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.5lbs 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. 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 Carlos Sanchez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Chomsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Mclean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chomsky's entrance music is Flex Feat. Mr. Saik - Dime Si Te Vas Con El. A fine choice. Mclean has chosen Oasis - F**king in the bushes as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
