Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Fenili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sammy Davis Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fenili's entrance music is Welcome Home (Sanitarium). A fine choice. 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 Sammy Davis Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
