Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Champ Johnson (ranked 3974 p4p, 3178 weight class) and Shigeru Uchida (ranked 466 p4p, 382 weight class). Johnson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, DMX - Ain't No Sunshine . On his way into the cage it seems that Champ Johnson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Champ Johnson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Pinkman (ranked 271 p4p, 323 weight class) and Ivan Kamenev (ranked 34 p4p, 44 weight class). Pinkman comes into the arena with DLZ by TV on the Radio blaring out of the sound system. 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.
