Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaques Du Coudray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martin comes into the arena with Downstait - This Is My Life blaring out of the sound system. 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 Jaques Du Coudray was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
