Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perez comes to the cage accompanied by Gangnam Style by PSY. Wilson has chosen Innersection as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kublai Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Luciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Congo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil' Jamal- Genetic For Terror. Luciano is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Mechanic. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
