Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ron White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Dyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White comes to the cage accompanied by Rick Derringer - I am a real American. Dyer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Viva La Vida. 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 Shawn Dyer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
