Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Skeeter Gator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juliano Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gator's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drop it Like its Hot. Junior has chosen Soulfly - Brasil as his entrance music. 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 Juliano Junior was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
