Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justus Sheehan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathan Audet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sheehan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Devil. The crowd seem to be enjoying Audet's choice of entrance music: Will.I.Am - T.H.E.. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
