Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kemen Etxeberria (ranked 7148 p4p, 519 weight class) and Wayde West (ranked 1807 p4p, 218 weight class). Etxeberria kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Basque National Anthem. West has chosen Sober as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Brown (ranked 1903 p4p, 229 weight class) and Nomor Gai (ranked 2615 p4p, 289 weight class). Brown kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Somebody Gonna Get It. Gai has chosen Alice Cooper No More Mr. Nice Guy as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
