Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Drew Turton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Nazaire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turton comes to the cage accompanied by New Noise. Nazaire has chosen Spaceape (Burial) as his entrance music. 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 Paolo Nazaire was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
