Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wilson Tuckey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tuckey's choice of entrance music: Land Down Under - Men at Work. Bomb has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tatsuyo Hayate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Block Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Slayer - Raining Blood 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 Block Liddell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
