Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Paul (ranked 3991 p4p, 3585 weight class) and Billy Turd (ranked 434 p4p, 403 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Paul might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-VdnD_8bYg. Turd has chosen Laugh Now Cry Later as his entrance music. Jake Paul looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
