Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tim Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Cristos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lynch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Doors-Break on through. Cristos has chosen Cypress Hill - Hand on the Pump as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
