Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcel Clasie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evander Holyshit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clasie comes to the cage accompanied by Sensation White Anthem. Holyshit has chosen Lil Wayne- I feel like dying as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peter Cabreros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cabreros comes to the cage accompanied by Love is what i got. Snuka is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Superfly by Curtis Mayfield. 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 Jimmy Snuka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
