Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Louis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Algot Von Panzerhosen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Louis comes to the cage accompanied by Awesome God. Von Panzerhosen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Klamydia - Pohjanmaalla. On his way into the cage it seems that Joe Louis has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joe Louis seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Jose De Sucre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Arthur Curry is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
