Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Petri Pakkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crazy - Gnarls Barkley. Pakkanen has chosen Loost Koos - Pakkasta as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simba Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remy Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Shook Ones Pt 1. Valentine has chosen Pantera-Throes of Rejection as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
