Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Louis Paterson (ranked 1545 p4p, 185 weight class) and Charles Carlyle (ranked 1895 p4p, 225 weight class). Paterson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ce Fait Mal - La Founine. Carlyle has chosen Ladies and Gentlemen as his entrance music. Paterson has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
