Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taco Stiffy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Prince Tycooner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stiffy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The taco dance. Tycooner has chosen Prince "Cream" as his entrance music. Tycooner has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Prince Tycooner has the eye of the tiger tonight.
