Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Silver (ranked 337 p4p, 37 weight class) and Shi Fu Tu (ranked 391 p4p, 46 weight class). Fu Tu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Klendathu drop. 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 Shi Fu Tu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
