Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm Dugans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Valchenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dugans's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Superfly - Curtis Mayfiield. 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 Igor Valchenko was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
