Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chipped Shoulder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shoulder comes into the arena with Call On Me - Eric Pyrdz blaring out of the sound system. Carter has chosen Swedish House Mafia - One (Your Name) as his entrance music. Chipped Shoulder had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
