Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Carlton Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abreham Killyousovizh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banks's entrance music is It's Not Unusual. A fine choice. 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 Abreham Killyousovizh was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
