Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Noam Chomsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Yauch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chomsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is System Of A Down BYOB. Yauch has chosen Fight For Your Right To Party as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Enting Butikol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and How Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
