Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Axl Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Nix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You Could Be Mine. Nix has chosen Gorilla Militia by Bliss n Eso as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes to the cage accompanied by NWO Wolfpack. 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 Kyle Collins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
