Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cirilo Galiei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Birdman Lugz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Birdman Lugz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pierre St George (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jao Lai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St George kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beautiful People. Pierre St George looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
