Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timmy Wesley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matthews's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Disturbed-Conflict. Wesley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Eminem - Go to Sleep. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lincoln Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hayes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Black Wings of Apocalypse. 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 Felix St Pierre was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
