Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kalema Kirunda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Whisky Dan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kirunda kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Hellacopters - In The Sign of Octopus. Dan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "I'm a man" by Black Strobe. 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 Whisky Dan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
