Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Da Skrumbo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Juan Matus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skrumbo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is It's a fight!!. Matus has chosen Crow Spirit as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Don Juan Matus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
