Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Military Industrial Complex (ranked 4366 p4p, 401 weight class) and Rock Chuck (ranked 3704 p4p, 353 weight class). Complex comes into the arena with Rusty Cage - Johnny Cash blaring out of the sound system. 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 Rock Chuck was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
