Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Samart Bukaew (ranked 2724 p4p, 3234 weight class) and Dante Black (ranked 315 p4p, 362 weight class). Black has chosen Mack the Knife as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Dante Black was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
