Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Latrobe Arundel (ranked 2627 p4p, 300 weight class) and Marc Read (ranked 4471 p4p, 445 weight class). Arundel comes to the ring accompanied by Shook Ones. 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 Marc Read was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
