Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jefferson Davis Hogg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Levi King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogg's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Last Ones Standing. The crowd seem to be enjoying King's choice of entrance music: Lou Reed - Perfect Day. 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 Levi King was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
