Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Haigh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Monroe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Haigh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against . Monroe has chosen Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Friedrich Bergfried (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aslak Aas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nunnuka Nunnuka. 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 Aslak Aas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
