Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnson Juarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Stojkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Juarez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is SYSTEM OF A DOWN - Prison Song. 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 Jan Stojkowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
