Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Boitsoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muay Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boitsoff's entrance music is My Domination. A fine choice. Thai is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Town Called Malice. 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 Ziggy Cliff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Clark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cliff kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is JAMROCK. Clark has chosen All Fired Up 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 Eddie Clark was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
