Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ric Landeverde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Long Dong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landeverde kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dong's choice of entrance music: Big Balls. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Josiah Bartlet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shamrock is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue. 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 Chuck Shamrock was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
