Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donald Trump (ranked 35 p4p, 6 weight class) and Roy Gaston (ranked 813 p4p, 110 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Gaston's choice of entrance music: You Can Do It. 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 Roy Gaston was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
