Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anto Mrvelj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Me Against The World. 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 Jason Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
