Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexi Laiho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Backscratcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laiho kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper. 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 Brian Backscratcher was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
