Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chase (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Micheals (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chase kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bobcaygeon. Micheals has chosen Whoa is Me as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
