Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jason Dunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Whinchester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dunn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bia Bia . 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 Dean Whinchester was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
