Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tommie Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umberto Sotto Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Don't Shoot Shotgun. 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 Umberto Sotto Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
