Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tanaka Matsuda (ranked 790 p4p, 601 weight class) and Arthur Morgan (ranked 127 p4p, 89 weight class). Matsuda comes to the cage accompanied by Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King. Morgan has chosen Battle Cry 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 Morgan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
