Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Bauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Herwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bauer comes to the cage accompanied by At The Gates - Blinded By Fear. Herwin has chosen A Country Boy Can Survive as his entrance music. 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 Josh Herwin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
