Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Meat Loaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aimo Pamaus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loaf comes to the cage accompanied by Eat My Loaf. 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 Aimo Pamaus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
