Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Don Quixote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shoju Bayushi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quixote's entrance music is Pantera - Domination. A fine choice. Bayushi has chosen Masta Killa 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 Shoju Bayushi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
