Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mickey McGillicutty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Theron Morrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGillicutty might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kiss My Irish Ass. Morrison has chosen Thieves by Ministry 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 Theron Morrison was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
