Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mayuri Tatsuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Melbrooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tatsuki comes to the cage accompanied by Norther - Released. Melbrooks is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Motorhead - Smiling like a killer. 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 John Melbrooks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
