Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alex McGuinness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yannick Maruck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuinness comes to the cage accompanied by Pearl Jam - Even Flow. Maruck comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Redemption Song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Yannick Maruck was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Salvador Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Coal Hagride (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

The crowd seem to be enjoying Hagride's choice of entrance music: I am Black Torment. Salvador Alves had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
