Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abel Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Slick Rick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fuckin' In The Bushes. Rick is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Children's Story. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Rhino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sensei's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy. Rhino has chosen Glass to the Arson -- Anberlin 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.
