Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Simon Harrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Biacolo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Harrison might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ocean Colour Scene - Hundred Mile High City. 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 Julius Biacolo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
