Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ragnar Lodbrok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamezdin Shraf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lodbrok comes into the arena with Glory and Gore blaring out of the sound system. Shraf has chosen O.C. - time's up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jack Merridew (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francois Duvalier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
