Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Neil Striker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stocky Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Striker comes to the cage accompanied by Are You Ready?. Balboa has chosen Eye of the tiger as his entrance music. 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 Stocky Balboa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
