Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Drago Kozlov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and H Y Kwon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kozlov comes to the cage accompanied by Back in the USSR. Kwon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wu Tang Clan - CREAM. 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 H Y Kwon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Mallon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mallon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: im not afraid. 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 John Mallon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
