Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cris Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter has chosen http://youtu.be/46tS09yBc9I 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 Cris Hunter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
