Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luke Cage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominic Fauatea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Fauatea 's choice of entrance music: Aural Psynapse. 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 Dominic Fauatea was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Main event

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iiro Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernesto Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolonen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Johnny Cash : The Man Comes Around. 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.
