Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murha Pate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black's entrance music is Zach's Song. A fine choice. 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 Murha Pate was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
