Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Thompson (ranked 1739 p4p, 918 weight class) and Luke Skywalker (ranked 181 p4p, 97 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Skywalker's choice of entrance music: Skywalker Theme. 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 Luke Skywalker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Guy River (ranked 163 p4p, 531 weight class) and Frankie Logan (ranked 25 p4p, 73 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think River might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gabon National Anthem. Logan has chosen The Evil Scotsman as his entrance music. 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.
