Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kondzio Celka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Skaar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Celka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sabaton - Birds of War. Skaar has chosen Top Gun Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. John Skaar will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Man Zend (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tj Cummings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zend kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Up. Cummings has chosen The Misfits - Die Die My Darling as his entrance music. 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.
