Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Rambo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire. Rambo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ride of the Valkyries. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davin Gunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunter comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Black kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Davin Gunter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Houser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and General Zod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Houser might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hackensaw Boys-Keep it simple. Zod has chosen Kneel Before Zod as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
