Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malik Muhammad Shabazz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirill Kolushev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muhammad Shabazz comes into the arena with Schoolly D - Am I Black Enough For You blaring out of the sound system. 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 Kirill Kolushev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
