Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirk Lazarus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lazarus's choice of entrance music: Last Resort. 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 Kirk Lazarus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
