Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Achilles Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Stapleton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stapleton has chosen Stick To Your Guns - Against Them All 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 Jeremy Stapleton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
