Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Rogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Verne Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson has chosen Chase is better than the Catch by Motorhead 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 Verne Robinson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
