Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolay Panayotov (ranked 2812 p4p, 1665 weight class) and Pete Dunham (ranked 85 p4p, 40 weight class). Panayotov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mad World - Gary Jules / Tears For Fears (Cover by Jasmine Thompson). Dunham has chosen Im Forever Blowing Bubbles as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Nikolay Panayotov is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
