Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Blanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tibo Asztalos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Asztalos's choice of entrance music: Enter Sandman. 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 Tibo Asztalos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
