Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Krejzi Kure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artie Lange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kure comes to the cage accompanied by BIG SHUG - who's hard. Lange is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: ACDC-You Shook Me(All Night Long). 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 Artie Lange was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
