Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gary Player (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Point Fighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Player might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kevin Gates feat. August Alsina - I Don't Get Tired. On his way into the cage it seems that Gary Player has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gary Player seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Judge Machina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jamison has chosen Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Panikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kzszcziski Mazcsakhs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Panikov comes to the cage accompanied by Fighters. Mazcsakhs has chosen Tupac - Me and My Girlfriend as his entrance music. 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?
