Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Lethal (ranked 1342 p4p, 178 weight class) and Oscar Boma (ranked 1679 p4p, 208 weight class). Lethal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is we're off to see the wizard. Boma is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Andrew and Wada Blood - Irie. 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 Ron Jeremy (ranked 961 p4p, 119 weight class) and Clark Kent (ranked 1566 p4p, 190 weight class). Kent is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Save Me - Remy Zero (Smallville Theme). 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?
