Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mark Markus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Kidd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Markus's entrance music is Faith No More - Be Aggressive. A fine choice. Kidd has chosen Joe Esposito - You're the best as his entrance music. 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 Dick Kidd was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
