Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ichabod Klopfenstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Williamson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williamson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Iggy Pop - Lust For Life kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Williamson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Da Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) . Freeman has chosen Judo Flip as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
