Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aldo Alpha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cy Coe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coe has chosen Insane In The Membrane - Cypress Hill as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Aldo Alpha has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aldo Alpha seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Zwart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Ball (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ball has chosen Hammer Smashed Face as his entrance music. 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 Joe Ball was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
