Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jarppi Virne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rike McMylly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Virne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jeff van Dyck - Soldier's Chant. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Rike McMylly was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bondye Viktorye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keni Susi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Viktorye comes to the cage accompanied by O papai chego. Susi has chosen Metallica - Hero of the Day as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Keni Susi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
