Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Newheart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Chong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Chong's choice of entrance music: Get Down On The Ground. Chong has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hatsu Hioki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jokke Mela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hioki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pussy by Rammstein. 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chad Carlson Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Couture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlson Jr's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Muse- Stockholm Syndrome. Couture has chosen Mama said knock you out 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?
