Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Bigelow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lane Andrews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 Lane Andrews was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
