Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mike Pointek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacre De Booza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pointek's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sevendust - Enemy. De Booza has chosen Punky Reggae Party as his entrance music. 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 Jacre De Booza was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Jonners (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Bautista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonners's entrance music is Don't Fear The Reaper. A fine choice. 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 Dave Bautista was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
