Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Josh Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michaels's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Alice In Chains - Man In The Box. The crowd seem to be enjoying Miller's choice of entrance music: Deftones - Change. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Urpo Muilu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Casper Sinclair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muilu comes into the arena with he's going the distance blaring out of the sound system. 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 Casper Sinclair was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vekkuli Toveri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Williams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire. Vekkuli Toveri is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
