Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Dredd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jesus Built My Hotrod. Dredd has chosen I Am The Law! as his entrance music. McClane is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
