Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Arona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Metallica - For Whom The Bells Toll. 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 James Roberts was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
