Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack In The Box (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Jack In The Box was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edgar Allen Poe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and chris cav (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Poe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dance Hall Days. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shuvel Bro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Chong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.
