Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kwiwan Fogomayu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Plouman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fogomayu's entrance music is Kyamadu. 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 Rocky Plouman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Mac Donalds!
Mac Donalds retains his lightweight title!
A very excited looking Mac Donalds rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
