Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Julian Alexander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reginald Kray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alexander comes to the cage accompanied by Viento Del Arena. Reginald Kray struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Funnie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jiu Jitsu: Vai Finaliza!. Funnie has chosen Doug Theme Song as his entrance music. 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 Doug Funnie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
