Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gerald Kiriaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Coature (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coature has chosen 8th and Blues 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 Randy Coature was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
