Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shamar Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Turner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes into the arena with Freak on a Leash blaring out of the sound system. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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 Turner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
