Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Conner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olek Skilgannon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Conner kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Too Late. Skilgannon has chosen La Ultima Hora - Breed 77 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ryan Conner looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
