Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Onkel Bergmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lop Lopp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bergmann kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Give Up. 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 Lop Lopp was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
