Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lambo Aventador (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duncan McAlister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McAlister has chosen Althia and Donna - Uptown Top Ranking as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Duncan McAlister was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
