Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Bourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Jimenez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bourne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ethereal Connection. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jimenez's choice of entrance music: I Still Feel Her Pt.3 . Dennis Jimenez is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karate Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vekkuli Toveri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kid comes into the arena with Go to sleep blaring out of the sound system. Toveri has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Red Hook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Potatos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Potatos has chosen Just Another Victim by Helmet&House of Pain as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
