Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ian Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludko Struja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC. Struja has chosen HIJACK - THE BADMAN IS ROBBIN as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stan Judea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kostas Karelis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Judea's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I want to be a woman - Monty Python. Karelis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sail - AwolNation. 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?
