Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Balls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose comes to the cage accompanied by Another One Bites The Dust. 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 Harry Balls was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
