Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carver McNulty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choke Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNulty comes into the arena with Still I Rise - Shadows Fall blaring out of the sound system. Liddell has chosen Intro - DMX as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Carver McNulty has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carver McNulty seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grzegorz Bomba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royce Grace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomba kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dreadlock Holiday. The crowd seem to be enjoying Grace's choice of entrance music: Go To Sleep - Eminem. Grzegorz Bomba has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
