Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Koji Yano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ice Cold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yano comes to the cage accompanied by Fleur de Lis - Jucifer. 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 Ice Cold was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
