Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryu Hyabusa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colt Bragg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bragg is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by My My Misfire - The Sinatra. 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 Colt Bragg was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
