Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zemli Funtov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quinton Xavier Potterswheel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zemli Funtov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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. Quinton Xavier Potterswheel will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sheldon Cooper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shaun Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cooper comes into the arena with star trek theme blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Sheldon Cooper has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sheldon Cooper seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
