Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between D J Rich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregori Vladivostok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vladivostok has chosen Goodbye Sober Day - Mr Bungle 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 Gregori Vladivostok was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
