Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Shin Katama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katama's entrance music is Inject the Venom. 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 Hector Santos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Harrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kid Rock - American Badass. Harrison has chosen Saliva - Click Click Boom as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bobby Lee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bobby Lee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
