Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Thorgrim Rexor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmonray Malapitan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malapitan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: My Time is Now. 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 Dmonray Malapitan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
