Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Islam Makhachev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Makhachev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HEY MAMA - David Guetta ft Nicki Minaj & Afrojack. 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 Chris Kennedy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
