Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Garvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Garvey has chosen One Loaf of Bread -- Damian Marley as his entrance music. Marcus Garvey struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harold Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Calaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howard's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eddie Money - Take me home tonight. Calaway has chosen R.I.P. as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Harold Howard has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Harold Howard seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
