Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaska Jalovaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Fisher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jalovaara comes into the arena with Die for Metal blaring out of the sound system. 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 Sam Fisher was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
