Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Byson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Hanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanks has chosen AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 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 Fred Hanks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
