Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Junior Paulista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cold Cat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paulista's entrance music is Champagne Supernova. 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 Cold Cat was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
