Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henning Wehland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aden Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wehland kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pirates. Kane has chosen "Pokerface" by Lady GaGa as his entrance music. Aden Kane is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Will Rounded (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iso Paha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rounded kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Slayer - Raining Blood. Paha has chosen Bad Boy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
