Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Infamous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BA Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Infamous's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jadakiss - Pain And Torture. 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 BA Evans was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
