Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Diotte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quinton Lind (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diotte kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cypress Hill - I Want 2 Get High. Lind has chosen Ice Cube & Dr Dre - Natural Born Killaz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Andrew Diotte is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lee Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrone Watts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson comes to the cage accompanied by Alice In Chains- Them Bones. Watts is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Xxplosive by Dr.Dre. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Luciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perez comes into the arena with Gangnam Style by PSY blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Luciano's choice of entrance music: The Mechanic. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
