Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dado Mata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brain Buro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mata comes to the cage accompanied by Stranglehold. Buro has chosen Brian Boro`s March as his entrance music. 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 Brain Buro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
