Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maciej Dobrzynski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parts kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is call to prayer. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dobrzynski's choice of entrance music: Sabaton - Uprising. Peter Parts could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Maciej Dobrzynski's chin.
