Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lasi Leuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barry Allen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Allen has chosen Funker Vogt "Arising Hero" 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 Barry Allen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
