Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Theiroff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Mallon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Theiroff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Knuck If You Buck - Crime Mob. Mallon has chosen im not afraid as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Belmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belmont might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hurt - Johnny Cash. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roque Barretto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forrest Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barretto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Man Standing - By 4ft Fingers. Ortiz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2Pac - All Eyes On Me. Roque Barretto could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Forrest Ortiz's chin.
