Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thracian Spartacus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kasey Ballard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dillion Brody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Estep (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Estep's choice of entrance music: Courageous. Brody has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
