Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vincent The Vandal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maek Houzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Vandal's entrance music is Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire. A fine choice. 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 Maek Houzo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Torsti Monivamma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troll Skog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
