Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Penn State (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniels has chosen David allen coe- Jack daniels if you please 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 Jack Daniels was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
