Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Handelman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Henson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Handelman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, All I Do is Win. Henson has chosen A Warrior's Call by Volbeat 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 Mickey Henson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
