Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 366 p4p, 44 weight class) and Charlie Lim (ranked 165 p4p, 24 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brophy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - Walk. Lim is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kamelot - Abandoned. 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mordecai Sackett (ranked 35 p4p, 7 weight class) and Jack Douglas (ranked 13 p4p, 1 weight class). Douglas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell 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 Jack Douglas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
