Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roy Brandon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Sutherland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sutherland has chosen 2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up 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 Joe Sutherland was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Will Camel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikita Klitschko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Camel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dog ft. Pharrell Williams . On his way into the cage it seems that Will Camel has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Will Camel seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
