Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Sarpong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Octavio Saades (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saades has chosen The Ho Train as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Octavio Saades was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
