Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rich Junior (ranked 3795 p4p, 343 weight class) and Bushido Brown (ranked 3299 p4p, 305 weight class). Rich Junior had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Bushido Brown is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Maraçon (ranked 399 p4p, 59 weight class) and Stres Fleshou (ranked 454 p4p, 69 weight class). Maraçon comes into the arena with Pistolero blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fleshou's choice of entrance music: FOK JULLE NAAIERS - Die Antwoord. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Fook Man (ranked 110 p4p, 18 weight class) and Veikko Pilvi (ranked 118 p4p, 19 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pilvi's choice of entrance music: Faded. 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?
