Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chong Zhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chevy Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zhu comes to the cage accompanied by Meet Gazoo. 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 Chevy Nguyen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
