Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Warren Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dell Trotter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams comes to the cage accompanied by Bang Your Head. 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 Dell Trotter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
