Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnie Ironz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Oath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ironz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Limp Bizkit - Gold Cobra. Oath has chosen Fuck your guts out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
