Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tomasz Drwal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rumina Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drwal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nightwish Crimson Tide . Sato has chosen Call to prayer of islam as his entrance music. Tomasz Drwal had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
