Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evans kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Four Words To Choke Upon" by BFMV. Gomez has chosen Something in your Mouth as his entrance music. Rafael Gomez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Rafael Gomez is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
