Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnson Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and LeMac Red (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mitchell comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Ice baby. Red is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by shimmy she wobble. 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 LeMac Red was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
