Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ronan Yamokivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hidalgo Montoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Montoya has chosen El Toro as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ronan Yamokivic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ronan Yamokivic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Evander Holyshit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Llewelyn Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holyshit kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You're gonna die!. Carter has chosen Scooter - Fire 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 Llewelyn Carter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
