Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chong Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Satriani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li comes to the cage accompanied by dig it deeper just to throw it away. Satriani has chosen Satch Boogie as his entrance music. 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 Joe Satriani was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
