Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bumba Motumbo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akio Takada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Motumbo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton. Takada has chosen Metallica - All Nightmare Long as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Travis Reed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leon Kaiser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
