Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Billy D (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Inas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). D's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - TNT. Inas has chosen Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name as his entrance music. Inas has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
