Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matsufubu Rofuru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Len Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rofuru's entrance music is Tetsuya Komuro - Speed 2. A fine choice. 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 Len Orton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
