Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Banner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scot Goodbarrel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Banner might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pump Up The Jam. Goodbarrel has chosen Deliver as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Scot Goodbarrel has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
