Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Braylon Beswicke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giorgio Jacques (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beswicke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kick in the teeth. Jacques comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Motörhead - Ace of Spades kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

I think Beswicke has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
