Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kickin Rad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis comes to the cage accompanied by Sober by Tool. Rad comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kids Of The K-Hole kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aung San Suu Kyi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julian Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suu Kyi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Peace Prize Speech. 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.
