Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Reis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ol Bastard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Survivor - Eye of the Tiger. Bastard is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ol' Dirty Bastard - Brooklyn Zoo. Ricardo Reis had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Ol Bastard enters the cage!
