Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Grammur Natzee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Natzee's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Marillion - Garden Party. 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 Stephen Hawking was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Marko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel York (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Unstoppable-E.S. Posthumus. York is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by British Grenadiers Song. Cain Marko could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Nigel York's chin.
