Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Brugnolo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaoru Hanayama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brugnolo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Poison - Alice Cooper. 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 Kaoru Hanayama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
