Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Enrich Aldrich (ranked 25078 p4p, 5673 weight class) and Carson Ledger (ranked 557 p4p, 539 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aldrich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Loser. 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 Carson Ledger was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
