Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johny Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Fife (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns's entrance music is "Firestarter" by The Prodigy. A fine choice. 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 Barney Fife was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cee Digits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nameless One (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Digits comes to the cage accompanied by C.$krilla - Freeze Frame. 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 Nameless One was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
