Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buster Cherry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Finnigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cherry's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Busters Back. Finnigan has chosen Finnigan's wake as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Buster Cherry has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Buster Cherry seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rufio Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shigenori Iwasaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Iwasaki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Roll & Tumble. On his way into the cage it seems that Rufio Souza has been attacked by a crazed fan!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Stack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moses Kippo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stack might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deer Dance. Kippo has chosen Killing Time as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Moses Kippo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
