Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dominic Rojas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will Sartell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rojas comes to the cage accompanied by Boom - Snoop Dogg. Sartell has chosen Nightmare 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 Will Sartell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
