Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Dank (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is real american. Dank has chosen let the bodies hit the floor as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Takeshi Miike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pierre Silverhielm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silverhielm has chosen Theme Tune to Islam as his entrance music. Takeshi Miike had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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.
