Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lemmy Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramirez comes to the cage accompanied by Wild Boys by Duran Duran. Black has chosen AC/DC - Back in Black as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sheamus Noonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Manson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manson has chosen Indian War Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
