Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Slater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slater has chosen Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jack Slater was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
