Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JB Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Brecht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brecht has chosen Dropkick Murphys - Warriors Code 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 Patrick Brecht was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
