Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Eaton Cox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chemical Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cox comes into the arena with Hatebreed - Destroy Everything blaring out of the sound system. Ali is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Slayer - Jihad. 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 Chemical Ali was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
