Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hooker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Millit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hooker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ricky Martin - Shake Your Bon Bon . Millit has chosen The Cool Kids - I'm Mikey as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
