Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Worthington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Osmo Soininvaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Worthington comes to the cage accompanied by Hand Covers Bruise- Trent Reznor. Soininvaara is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by country shit remix- ludacris, big krit, bun b. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Worthington has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Worthington seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pao Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harri Mulqvist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jay Chou - General/Checkmate. 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 Harri Mulqvist was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
