Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dirk Pitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Hinds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pitt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dancing in the Dark. Hinds comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Oblivion kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Brent Hinds was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
