Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nicky Lowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bard Palawszewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palawszewski has chosen Type 0 Negative Kill you tonight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Bard Palawszewski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
