Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tommie Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Tracy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn comes to the cage accompanied by Don't Shoot Shotgun. Tracy has chosen You Can Kiss My Irish Arse 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 Patrick Tracy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
