Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cameron Dye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson has chosen Clubbed to Death as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Thompson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
