Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wladyslaw Raginis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Curry has chosen Molly Malone - The Dubliners 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 Arthur Curry was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
