Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brady Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rasul Mirzaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pápai Joci - Origo. Mirzaev is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Natalie La Rose - Somebody ft. Jeremih. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steffan Stove (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar comes to the cage accompanied by KoRn En Vivo Mtv. 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 Steffan Stove was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
