Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Alexander (ranked 4463 p4p, 2705 weight class) and Dusty Sleeth (ranked 437 p4p, 309 weight class). 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 Dusty Sleeth was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
