Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Goodman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Fietsora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fietsora has chosen PRONG - Whose Fist Is This Anyway? 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 Luca Fietsora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
