Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carney Duffy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orlando Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duffy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brawl - Bloody spit. Boom comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Walk Forever kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcin Sokol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mathew Ridgeway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sokol's entrance music is DMX - X gon' give it to Ya. A fine choice. Ridgeway has chosen The Forgotten War as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
