Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rocky Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Crippler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marciano's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, lets dance. 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 Crippler was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
