Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damien Roscoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aldo Mann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Roscoe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Forgot About Dre. Mann has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between William O Leary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karsten Feigel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). William O Leary had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. William O Leary has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
