Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Logan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Stu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Logan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Devildriver - Devils Son. 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 Dick Stu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
