Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Hamilt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffory Falkurk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamilt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is target=blank>System of a Down - B.Y.O.B.. 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 Jeffory Falkurk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
