Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kakashi Sung Jung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustaf Scandinavian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Scandinavian has chosen Mask Off - Future as his entrance music. Sung Jung has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
