Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between YB Sol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Chang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sol might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SFIV - Theme of Ryu 2. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeppe Turska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesper Rush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turska comes into the arena with Last of the Mohicans Theme blaring out of the sound system. Rush is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tom Sawyer - Rush. 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 Jesper Rush was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
