Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor A million ankle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiranuka Stakanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think A million ankle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to punchout. Stakanu has chosen Oy, To Ne Vecher as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lou Ferrigno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grammur Natzee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Natzee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Marillion - Garden Party kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Grammur Natzee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
