Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Seymour Hughes (ranked 751 p4p, 651 weight class) and Wally Kruschev (ranked 112 p4p, 98 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hughes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Self. Kruschev comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pissed Off and Mad About it (Texas Hippie Coalition) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Wally Kruschev will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Trigger (ranked 256 p4p, 883 weight class) and Che Von Cru (ranked 42 p4p, 121 weight class). Trigger comes to the cage accompanied by Bang Bang by Monophonics. Cru has chosen the stranger as his entrance music. 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 Che Von Cru was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
