Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ethan Gray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beard Scallywags (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gray comes into the arena with Can't be Touched blaring out of the sound system. Scallywags has chosen LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Beard Scallywags told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
