Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Armas Paisti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Burgess (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paisti comes to the cage accompanied by Dr. Dre - Ring Ding Dong . 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 Anthony Burgess was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
