Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brian Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Dux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dux has chosen Bloodsport 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 Frank Dux was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
