Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rin Itoshiki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sandro Filcic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Itoshiki comes into the arena with Hito toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru (SZS Mod. Rap ver.) blaring out of the sound system. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
