Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Rodrigues (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cock Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rodrigues might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Joe Walsh - In the City. 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 Cock Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
