Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shiroi Neko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Never Faulter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Neko's entrance music is Machine Head - Halo. A fine choice. Never Faulter has chosen Fire it up by Modest Mouse as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Shiroi Neko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shiroi Neko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jigoro Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeppe Turska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Under a Killing Moon by Thrice. Turska has chosen Last of the Mohicans Theme as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
