Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Felix Sturm (ranked 107 p4p, 14 weight class) and Raise Hell (ranked 471 p4p, 57 weight class). Hell has chosen Motörhead - Hellraiser as his entrance music. Raise Hell struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Seagram (ranked 104 p4p, 18 weight class) and Chris Coath (ranked 436 p4p, 61 weight class). Coath comes into a darkened arena with his song building. For Heavy Metal we will die! 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 Chris Coath was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
