Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and French Frog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is WTF Collective. Frog is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Learn French with the frog : L'alphabet. French Frog is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
