Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sovor Trandel (ranked 1694 p4p, 1780 weight class) and Hjallis Kalske (ranked 245 p4p, 257 weight class). Trandel comes to the cage accompanied by Fuel and Fire - Bride. 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 Hjallis Kalske was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
