Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Trang Troc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stan TheMan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troc comes into the arena with Dr. Octagon - Real Raw blaring out of the sound system. TheMan has chosen Get Up Again as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Manya Kizz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kizz comes to the cage accompanied by Go Hard Or Go Home. Watson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lil Wayne feat. Drake and Jadakiss - It's Good. Thomas Watson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
