Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Mullin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cane comes into the arena with Rob Zombie - What blaring out of the sound system. 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 Michael Mullin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
