Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rung Thrym (ranked 1198 p4p, 181 weight class) and Adrian Shota (ranked 1609 p4p, 238 weight class). Thrym's entrance music is We Are - Hollywood Undead. A fine choice. Shota is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Black Panther Theme by Stephen James Taylor . On his way into the cage it seems that Rung Thrym has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rung Thrym seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hector Romero (ranked 39 p4p, 10 weight class) and Pete Granger (ranked 78 p4p, 15 weight class). Romero's entrance music is Havana. A fine choice. Granger has chosen Get Ya Strut On - Lord Have Mercy as his entrance music. 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?
