Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikey No Friends (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). No Friends is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Heretics and Killers- Protest the Hero. 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 Mikey No Friends was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
