Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Vaughn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vaughn comes to the cage accompanied by Wild Thing. 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 Anthony Rogers was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
