Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abdullah Hosseini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evan Pike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hosseini's entrance music is Zulfiqar - Secret Chiefs 3. A fine choice. 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 Evan Pike was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
