Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cavan Cartwright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Mangold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cartwright comes to the cage accompanied by The Irish Fighting Song. Mangold has chosen Dead Prez as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Danny Mangold was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roope Latvala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvo Laar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laar has chosen some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Roope Latvala could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Arvo Laar's chin.
