Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gregory House (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregory Ness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ness has chosen Shoots and Ladders by Korn as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Gregory Ness was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hippaul Omega Weapon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fancy Mcghee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
