Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Dory (ranked 1645 p4p, 1012 weight class) and Charles Traynor (ranked 195 p4p, 131 weight class). Traynor comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Charles Traynor was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
