Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Otis Gein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krzysztof Krzak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gein comes to the cage accompanied by Puritania. 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 Krzysztof Krzak was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Damion Skye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Herman Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skye comes to the cage accompanied by Never Gonna Stop - Rob Zombie. Pacquiao has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Herman Pacquiao struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 158.0lbs 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
