Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Askren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephan Axe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Axe has chosen Call to prayer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. John Askren had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.7lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
