Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hans Hermann Hoppe (ranked 262 p4p, 105 weight class) and Landon Priester (ranked 34 p4p, 12 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hoppe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wind of Change. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Farboleous Ricard (ranked 128 p4p, 255 weight class) and Lamont Banner (ranked 15 p4p, 33 weight class). Ricard comes to the cage accompanied by Vibe Killer. 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 Lamont Banner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damagon Ench�rya (ranked 21 p4p, 129 weight class) and Robert MacArthur Jnr (ranked 4 p4p, 25 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ench�rya might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blaxcaliber. MacArthur Jnr has chosen barbarian pipe band as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
