Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Conway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pit Lord (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Conway's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ! ! ! (chk chk chk)- Yadnus. Pit Lord struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.1lbs 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. 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 Pit Lord was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Simmons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao Pequeno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simmons kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Take A Ride On My Bologna Pony! ! !. Pequeno has chosen Căo da Morte by Măo Morta as his entrance music. Joao Pequeno has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
