Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wrabadub Indatub (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Blankenhoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Indatub comes to the cage accompanied by Bach's Toccata in E minor. 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 Kyle Blankenhoff was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
