Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Eric Bueller (ranked 7626 p4p, 613 weight class) and Daniel Garver (ranked 10755 p4p, 657 weight class). Garver has chosen Carver as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Eric Bueller has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eric Bueller seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adam Khaliev (ranked 2714 p4p, 296 weight class) and Arnavut Sevket (ranked 5354 p4p, 503 weight class). Khaliev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is T-Wayne - Nasty Freestyle. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Arnavut Sevket was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
