Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Cahoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hernandez has chosen Cocteau Twins - Song to the Siren 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 Oscar Hernandez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
