Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Harley Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arto Bryggare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crowe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Dead Brothers - Old Pine Box. Bryggare has chosen Immortal Technique - Goonies Never Die as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between RP McMurphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monster Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McMurphy comes to the cage accompanied by I'm a Solider - Tupac. Hero has chosen Super Glad - Laki-Laki as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that RP McMurphy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily RP McMurphy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
