Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenkin If (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sabado Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). If comes to the cage accompanied by Manchester City - Blue Moon. 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 Sabado Martinez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
