Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Doctor Greenthumb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Taurus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doctor Greenthumb had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.9lbs, 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. Doctor Greenthumb could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Miguel Taurus's chin.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manny Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Jonson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayweather comes into the arena with Yep blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jonson's choice of entrance music: bis das Blut gefriert. 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 Jon Jonson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
