Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mat Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peaky Blinder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Got Five On It. Blinder has chosen Dave not Dave - Cold blood 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 Peaky Blinder was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between DJ Thunda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahsan Hamed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Hamed's choice of entrance music: Ahmed's Theme. 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 Ahsan Hamed was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Scott Mallox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Sin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
