Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaakko Teppo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Teppo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jaakko Teppo - Hilma ja Onni. The crowd seem to be enjoying Xocoyotzin's choice of entrance music: Leverage - Sentenced. Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Renzo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davor Velcic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Renzo Gracie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Davor Velcic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
