Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ethan Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Kilmster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Adam Budgell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Budgell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I D.A.R.E. David Bowie To Drive Drunk. Robinson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rage against the machine- Killing in the name. 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 Sam Robinson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
