Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oswaldo Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Koch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In The Ghetto - By Elvis Presley. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Hajime Bucket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Minota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bucket comes into the arena with The Mercenary -- Iron Maiden blaring out of the sound system. 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 Joseph Minota was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
