Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Willie Manuawillie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Flashlighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manuawillie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lil Wayne Feat. Eminem - Drop The World!. Flashlighter has chosen Ocoai - La Main d'Electrique as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Willie Manuawillie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. The fight MMA fans around the world have waited their entire lives for!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Duddy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yevgeni Raduchenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
