Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Pitney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elias Nielsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nielsen has chosen Cornstick Feat. Benny Jamz & Pharfar - What Money Can Do as his entrance music. 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 Elias Nielsen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
