Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles LaFontier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiyaro Feitsora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Feitsora has chosen Helmet - Unsung as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Tiyaro Feitsora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tobias Larsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Palowakski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palowakski has chosen 50 cent ft. Mobb Deep - Outta Control as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
