Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maui Wowie (ranked 1457 p4p, 187 weight class) and Piranha Chonan (ranked 1796 p4p, 227 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wowie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dont bogart that joint. 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 Piranha Chonan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Neil Gilas (ranked 912 p4p, 130 weight class) and Stan Judea (ranked 1094 p4p, 161 weight class). Gilas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Remember The Name - Fort Minor. Judea is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I want to be a woman - Monty Python. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between AC Slater (ranked 1113 p4p, 163 weight class) and Levan Revazshvili (ranked 1052 p4p, 155 weight class). Slater's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stop What Ya Doin. Revazshvili has chosen Georgia National Anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between DeShawn Jackson (ranked 288 p4p, 39 weight class) and Charles Ng (ranked 511 p4p, 57 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Green Card. Ng comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Wedlock - I'm The Fuck You Man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
