Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yuriy Khovanskiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Feng Long Wei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khovanskiy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Batya v zdanii. Long Wei has chosen Run The Jewels - Panther Like a Panther as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lennart Lennartsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Sionis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lennartsson comes into the arena with Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Lennart Lennartsson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lennart Lennartsson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Aslak Aas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shin Dong Hyuk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nunnuka Nunnuka. 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 Shin Dong Hyuk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
