Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Woonsocket Cavaricci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silver Back (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cavaricci kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Slaughterhouse by Slaughterhouse. The crowd seem to be enjoying Back's choice of entrance music: Man In The Box. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Brone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neil Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Neil Goldman told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergeant Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bag of Weed. Peppers has chosen Lip Gloss and Black--as made famous by Atreyu 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?
