Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Martin O Neill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Az Anubis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Neill comes to the cage accompanied by Sing for the moment - Eminem. Anubis has chosen Lil B - The Age Of Information as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Martin O Neill has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Martin O Neill seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Noel Contemprato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colin Hendry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Contemprato's entrance music is This Is How We Do It. A fine choice. Hendry has chosen Seed - By Sublime as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Colin Hendry told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
