Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Silik Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heng Keo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunt comes into the arena with London Calling blaring out of the sound system. Keo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ich Will - Rammstein. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jaius Garcius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masaru Shimabukuro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Garcius's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Here we are Juggernaut by Coheed and Cambria. Shimabukuro has chosen Warrior 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 Masaru Shimabukuro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
