Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Francesco Garrone (ranked 2146 p4p, 1072 weight class) and Callum McCewen (ranked 222 p4p, 117 weight class). McCewen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Highway to Hell - AC/DC kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Francesco Garrone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Callum McCewen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
