Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Help Out (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rory Markman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Help Out had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Help Out is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gable Bot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Natural (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Natural has chosen Tupac- Me Against The World as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Gable Bot has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gable Bot seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between KJ Talley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Howlett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howlett has chosen Berserker 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?
