Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Felix Flashlighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gomer Pyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flashlighter comes to the cage accompanied by Ocoai - La Main d'Electrique . Pyle is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Marines' Hymn. 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 Gomer Pyle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
