Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silverback Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Under Pressure. Lesnar has chosen go coors! 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 Silverback Lesnar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
