Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Obsut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Leloup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leloup has chosen krolithika 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 Jon Leloup was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
