Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johhny Guns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olof Orkidea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orkidea is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by You're The Best. 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 Olof Orkidea was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
