Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Finnegan (ranked 731 p4p, 99 weight class) and Max Roberts (ranked 1253 p4p, 158 weight class). Finnegan comes to the cage accompanied by The Rogues - Gravel Walk. Roberts has chosen Break Stuff as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Max Roberts was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Morrison Lee (ranked 909 p4p, 112 weight class) and Juu Dyon (ranked 581 p4p, 71 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Pretender. 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.
