Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Mullen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mullen comes to the cage accompanied by Country Boy Can Survive. Lee has chosen Teaching You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Brandon Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Samson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Cockenschtuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Venture Brothers Opening Theme. Cockenschtuff has chosen Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
