Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between William Sims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoo Gun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Gun's choice of entrance music: Sabotage. 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 Yoo Gun was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
