Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Buck Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebastiao Galhardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 2NE1: FIRE. 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 Sebastiao Galhardo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
