Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hardcore Legend Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Batshit Datsik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Legend Jr comes to the cage accompanied by New Lil Wayne 2012 Carter 5 leak. Datsik has chosen Lunatic Fringe 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 Batshit Datsik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
