Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Orlando Bloom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zagan Yehudiah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yehudiah 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Red Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neo Nova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fox's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sanford and Son. 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?
