Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wang Chung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Blackburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blackburn has chosen Filth Friends Unite as his entrance music. 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 Brent Blackburn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
