Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ghani Ogle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ikkaku Madarame (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Madarame is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bleed It Out. 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 Ikkaku Madarame was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
