Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida comes into the arena with For Whom The Bell Tolls blaring out of the sound system. 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 John Nolan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mohamed Adbo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
