Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Whitaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bada Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Boom's choice of entrance music: Here Comes the BOOM by: POD. 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 Bada Boom was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
