Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Barney Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vlad The Impaler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee comes to the cage accompanied by On To The Next One. The Impaler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Deathlike Silence - Next to your Grave. 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 Vlad The Impaler was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
