Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caeas Liege (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernst Blofeld (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liege comes to the cage accompanied by Will T. Bear: For a Few Dollars . Blofeld has chosen Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks 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 Ernst Blofeld was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
