Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tyreke Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francois La Poulet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Coheed and Cambria - Here we are Juggernaut. La Poulet has chosen "chicken dance" song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Francois La Poulet is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
