Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Powers has chosen Real American 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 Kenny Powers was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
