Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bas De Groote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terry Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Groote's entrance music is Bas' Theme. A fine choice. Bull has chosen The Last Shadow Puppets as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Bas De Groote has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bas De Groote seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wanderlei Vovchanchyn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Dardar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vovchanchyn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is the game. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dardar's choice of entrance music: Trial by Fire. Jesse Dardar is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
