Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Brian Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramirez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by D'Evils -- Jay Z. 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 Javier Ramirez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
