Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kick Ass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nitram Eyricus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eyricus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eat You by Limp Bizkit. 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 Nitram Eyricus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
