Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mike Righty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Allmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Allmen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Snakebite" by Racer X kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Mike Righty had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as James Allmen enters the cage!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hiro Takayama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bear McGrillis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takayama comes to the cage accompanied by Mama Said Knock You Out. 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 Bear McGrillis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
