Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramon Gutierrez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marshall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is shawty like a melody. Gutierrez has chosen Rhymin' and Stealin - Beastie Boys 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 Ramon Gutierrez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
