Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Pasca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrion Lannister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pasca comes into the arena with mama said knock you out blaring out of the sound system. 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 Tyrion Lannister was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Di Punker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Herbstreit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Punker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Miss May I - Relentless Chaos. Herbstreit has chosen Herb Alpert - Street Life as his entrance music. Chad Herbstreit struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Chad Herbstreit is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
