Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alex Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Montferrand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steel comes to the cage accompanied by Ain't No Sunshine. Montferrand has chosen Big Joe Mufferaw as his entrance music. 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 Joseph Montferrand was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jon Irenicus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Winston McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Irenicus comes to the cage accompanied by Shadows of Amn. McCall is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Parkway Drive - Sleepwalker. 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.
