Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marko Huntti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Potter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huntti kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Atomic Butt Drop on Wanderlei Silva by Mark Hunt!. Potter has chosen THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT 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 Carter Potter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
