Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Freddy Lanzaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Bradstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lanzaro's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Vicente Fernandez - Los Mandados. 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 Drake Bradstone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
