Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dai Goro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and jamal jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goro comes to the cage accompanied by Blues - Andra Sidan. 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 jamal jenkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
