Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 526 p4p, 65 weight class) and Gunter Vogler (ranked 523 p4p, 64 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brophy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - Walk. Vogler has chosen Durchblick - Mach Dich Locker as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Davie Brophy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Davie Brophy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Euphegen Doubdtfire (ranked 1 p4p, 1 weight class) and Leonardo Da Silva (ranked 23 p4p, 4 weight class). Doubdtfire comes to the cage accompanied by I'd Rather Go Blind. Da Silva has chosen Kendrick Lamar - Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
