Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Gaizka Elizondo (ranked 5140 p4p, 452 weight class) and Tom Baker (ranked 4844 p4p, 405 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Elizondo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Peewee Longway & Money Man - Ooowwweee. The crowd seem to be enjoying Baker's choice of entrance music: Steve Blackman WWE theme. Gaizka Elizondo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
