Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jarrod Beard (ranked 323 p4p, 504 weight class) and Mac Anudo (ranked 25 p4p, 37 weight class). Beard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ladies Love Country Boys - Trace Adkins. 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 Mac Anudo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
