Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Brendan Schlaub (ranked 2193 p4p, 227 weight class) and Derrick Frazier (ranked 2322 p4p, 237 weight class). Frazier has chosen Bitch Please as his entrance music. 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 Derrick Frazier was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
