Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDonald kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is No Apologies. 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 Dave Batista was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tshering Wangchuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Jane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Phrisbee OReiley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). OReiley comes to the cage accompanied by Shoot To Thrill. Rodriguez has chosen Dan Balan Beautiful Girl 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 Roberto Rodriguez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
