Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Binse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Kiedis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kiedis's choice of entrance music: Tupac. 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 Johnny Kiedis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
