Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robert Paulson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jens Jensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paulson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pantera - Cowboys from Hell. 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 Jens Jensen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
