Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leland Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Ferdinand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palmer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Annihilator - Fun Palace. 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 Bob Ferdinand was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
