Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Caron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jhon Dodsoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dodsoon has chosen Alter Bridge - Metalingus as his entrance music. John Caron had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.6lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dilan Rossi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and AJ McNight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rossi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Surrender by Lion. McNight is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Given Up - Linkin Park. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
