Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stampe Eklund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Graeme Symons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eklund kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Troll - Trollberg. 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 Graeme Symons was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
