Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sonny Giovanni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Giovanni comes into the arena with Til I Collapse [ Eminem ] blaring out of the sound system. Gold is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. 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 Jamie Gold was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
