Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Reggie Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Burbank Bulldog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warren comes to the cage accompanied by God's gonna cut you down by Jonny Cash. Bulldog comes into a darkened arena with his song building. British Bulldog kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Burbank Bulldog was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chemical Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ali's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slayer - Jihad. Young has chosen Scorpions - The Zoo as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
