Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uriel Amok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Livingston Barclay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amok comes into the arena with Devils blaring out of the sound system. 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 Livingston Barclay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
