Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Heng Jiang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Bolek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jiang comes to the cage accompanied by Volbeat - A Warrior's Call. Bolek is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills. Billy Bolek struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Royal Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexei Chernokov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pain kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC Thunderstruck. Chernokov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Disaster strikes - Mushroom cloud. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
