Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Junior Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Atleetti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rivera comes to the cage accompanied by Push it to the Limit - Rick Ross. Atleetti has chosen Beyonce - Halo 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 Antti Atleetti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
