Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jean Cerien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Mcgillicutty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cerien comes into the arena with House of the rising sun blaring out of the sound system. 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 Jack Mcgillicutty was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
