Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rolles Rubio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Huang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huang has chosen Special Agent Huang as his entrance music. Huang has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Rolles Rubio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rolles Rubio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tim Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manvel Gamburyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams comes to the cage accompanied by Rihanna - So Hard. Gamburyan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gamburyan vs. Brown on April 24th. 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 Manvel Gamburyan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
