Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlito Brigante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cookie Monster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brigante kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem. Monster has chosen Cookie Monster Eating Cookie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Cookie Monster has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Carlito Brigante 's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Martinsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Biggie Smalls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinsson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bleach - Fade to Black B13A. Smalls has chosen The Notorious B.I.G. - Somebody 's Gotta Die as his entrance music. Fedor Martinsson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Biggie Smalls's chin.
