Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Max Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Waters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steel's entrance music is Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. A fine choice. Waters has chosen Hip Hop as his entrance music. 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 Derek Waters was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gristle McThornbody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trey Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
