Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Franz Ritter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cody Willis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ritter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is All Along The Watchtower. On his way into the cage it seems that Franz Ritter has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Franz Ritter seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shachlo Popyachtsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Roshan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popyachtsa's entrance music is Upyachka Dance. A fine choice. 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 Damian Roshan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
