Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tomura Krakakos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mon Key (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krakakos comes to the cage accompanied by Cannabis. 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 Mon Key was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
