Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Catchy Cartwright (ranked 1232 p4p, 1237 weight class) and Jay Reepo (ranked 138 p4p, 139 weight class). Cartwright's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Spiders. 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 Jay Reepo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
