Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thickski Brickhackski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonardo Adauto Da Costa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adauto Da Costa is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Song 2. Leonardo Adauto Da Costa struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.2lbs 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.
