Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ajax Aquila Corvus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas comes to the cage accompanied by Shinedown - "State Of My Head". 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 Ajax Aquila Corvus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tribbiani Joey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Morgan Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joey's entrance music is Clasic Sofl Rock. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wade's choice of entrance music: The Bleeding. Tribbiani Joey had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be a great matchup!
