Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zander Cage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Summer Wheatly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cage comes into the arena with Xander Intro blaring out of the sound system. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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 Summer Wheatly was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
