Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Joshua Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hong Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, It's Goin Down by T.C.. Li has chosen The Mars Volta - 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 Hong Li was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
