Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nate Kyzer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Napoleon Bonaparte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kyzer comes to the cage accompanied by All of the Lights. Bonaparte is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: An Epic Age. 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 Napoleon Bonaparte was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
