Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Justin Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hannibal Lyons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis comes to the cage accompanied by Thousand Needles in Red - Fire in the Sky. 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 Hannibal Lyons was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
