Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tobias Marshall (ranked 939 p4p, 103 weight class) and Matel Huchkov (ranked 1115 p4p, 120 weight class). 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 Matel Huchkov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Shamrock (ranked 35 p4p, 5 weight class) and Boyko Kersikov (ranked 178 p4p, 24 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shamrock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One Winged Angel by The Black Mages. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sylvester Ritter (ranked 77 p4p, 7 weight class) and Stu Grimson (ranked 285 p4p, 26 weight class). Ritter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Another one Bites the dust. Grimson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Omerta - Lamb of God. 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.
