Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Saint Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benedict Vader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vader has chosen Kanye West & Jay-Z- Never let me down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Benedict Vader was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
