Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bertil Berra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and mr pickles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Berra kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Seven nation Army. 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 mr pickles was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jokke Jakobsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jakobsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Svullo - Res Er För Sverige. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gracie's choice of entrance music: Boris Brejcha - Openminded. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
