Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Kemp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Winston Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Highway of Heros-The Trews. 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 Winston Gunn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
