Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Brickley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rasheed Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brickley comes to the cage accompanied by Seek N Destroy. Wallace is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gin and Juice Snoop D ogg. Bill Brickley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.9lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Semmy Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Njord Freyr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rizzo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to open road song. Freyr has chosen Twilight of the Thunder God as his entrance music. 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 Njord Freyr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
