Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jian Zhao (ranked 653 p4p, 1179 weight class) and Jane Malley (ranked 93 p4p, 167 weight class). Zhao kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dirty Harry (Schtung Chinese New Year Remix) - Gorillaz. The crowd seem to be enjoying Malley's choice of entrance music: Rosemary Clooney - Mambo Italiano . Jian Zhao could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jane Malley's chin.
