Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Chernishev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Creatinus Consumerus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chernishev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is MC Hovanskiy - Father in the building. 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 Creatinus Consumerus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
