Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tom Cirus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Valdo Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cirus's entrance music is Lonely Boy - The Black Keys. A fine choice. Aldo has chosen Eminem Lose yourself 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 Valdo Aldo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
