Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roibos Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Turim Jursu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fredriksson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Wolverine Theme. Jursu has chosen For Whom The Bell Tolls as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aarre Voutilainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Creaturos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Voutilainen comes into the arena with Chase Is Better Than The Catch blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Creaturos's choice of entrance music: Riverside - O2 Panic Room. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
