Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dakota Reis (ranked 4040 p4p, 4242 weight class) and Toby Sexton (ranked 459 p4p, 477 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cree Prayer Song - Young Spirit. 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 Toby Sexton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Randleman (ranked 12 p4p, 35 weight class) and Danny Danger (ranked 2 p4p, 7 weight class). Randleman comes to the cage accompanied by Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch. Danger has chosen Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Danny Danger was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
