Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Piano (ranked 26 p4p, 136 weight class) and Jorge Cruz Jr (ranked 3 p4p, 25 weight class). Piano comes to the cage accompanied by Rick Piano Man. 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 Jorge Cruz Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
