Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michael Van Roost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ground Guru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Roost comes to the cage accompanied by Cypress Hill - How I Could Just Kill A Man. 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 Ground Guru was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
