Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Vegas (ranked 4031 p4p, 379 weight class) and David Yung (ranked 2203 p4p, 218 weight class). Vegas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ace Of Spades by Motorhead. The crowd seem to be enjoying Yung's choice of entrance music: 陳小春 - 亂世巨星. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sweyn Forkbeard (ranked 3788 p4p, 411 weight class) and Simbo Klice (ranked 3543 p4p, 391 weight class). Klice has chosen THE D.O.C. - it's funky enough as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Simbo Klice is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
