Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ebanij Nasos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lindsay Dobbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nasos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Military Soviet Hymn . 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 Lindsay Dobbs was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
