Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Graves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcos Martini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Graves's entrance music is I Want War by Pastor Troy. A fine choice. James Graves had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Marcos Martini told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jay Colmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrell Summers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Summers has chosen Last Chance by Shooting Star as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins.
