Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manny Cedor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noah Cd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cedor's entrance music is Let's fighting love. A fine choice. 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 Noah Cd was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
