Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joshua Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robertson comes into the arena with 50 Cent - I get Money blaring out of the sound system. 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 Joshua Thomas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
