Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mannix McGuiness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scorpien Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuiness comes into the arena with Bare in the Basin - Gaelic Storm blaring out of the sound system. 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 Scorpien Rua was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tommie Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saul Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gunn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Don't Shoot Shotgun. Alvarez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Survivor - 'Burning Heart'. Tommie Gunn has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
