Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Glen McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and RJ Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDonald comes into the arena with Superstar blaring out of the sound system. Glen McDonald had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.9lbs, 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. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black comes to the cage accompanied by Life in a Marvelous Time-Mos Def. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wallace's choice of entrance music: Bodies by Drowning Pool. Wallace has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Michael Black had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fenny Klorian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leslie Morrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Klorian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hong Kong - Mauro Picotto. Morrow has chosen In The Air Tonight by Nonpoint as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
