Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taistelu Jaska (ranked 2840 p4p, 2529 weight class) and Steve Ballamer (ranked 161 p4p, 70 weight class). Jaska comes into the arena with Taistelu Jaska Theme from youtube blaring out of the sound system. 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 Steve Ballamer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
