Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Guy LeDouche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Badr Ramsay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LeDouche might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 30 Century Man. Ramsay has chosen Protect Ya Neck by Wu Tang Clan as his entrance music. Guy LeDouche could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Badr Ramsay's chin.
