Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Guido Sarducci (ranked 1512 p4p, 201 weight class) and Randy Miller (ranked 2611 p4p, 321 weight class). Sarducci kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ave Maria. Miller has chosen Who Was In My Room Last Night by Butthole Surfers as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pauke Murhaa (ranked 150 p4p, 16 weight class) and Knock Out (ranked 530 p4p, 59 weight class). 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?
