Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathan Wood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jack Daniels had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toby Le Rone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Azinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Le Rone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Let The Bodies Hit The Floor - Drowning Pool. Azinger is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Racoon - No mercy. Toby Le Rone has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
