Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Anywhere (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angle Iron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Iron has chosen I Have a Dream 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 Angle Iron was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Georlev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Rouge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alex Rouge struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.5lbs 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. Alex Rouge will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
