Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Trouble Some (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donnie Datsik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Some's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Von Hertzen Brothers - Coming Home. Trouble Some had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.0lbs, 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. Donnie Datsik told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chins Gone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niten Dōraku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dōraku has chosen Ides Of Light - Jucifer 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 Niten Dōraku was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hoffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romero has chosen Havana as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Hector Romero was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
