Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Kermodian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Fonseca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kermodian comes to the cage accompanied by Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum. Fonseca has chosen Guns n' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jackson Fonseca was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
