Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Theo Atlason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malietoa Feti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Feti is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Testament - All I Could Bleed. 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 Malietoa Feti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
