Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gina Carano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Kositzky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kositzky has chosen Mein Teil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Paul Kositzky was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
