Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pao Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vic Tori (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ling might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay Chou - General/Checkmate. Tori has chosen Walk by Pantera as his entrance music. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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 Vic Tori was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
