Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between J Gay G (ranked 3157 p4p, 2996 weight class) and Mario Santos (ranked 261 p4p, 244 weight class). Gay G kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Down. On his way into the cage it seems that J Gay G has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily J Gay G seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chest Mangold (ranked 1390 p4p, 2808 weight class) and Keir Toal (ranked 129 p4p, 228 weight class). Toal comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Irish Pub Song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Keir Toal struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Keir Toal was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
