Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Fumire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Prince Rogers Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Prince Rogers Nelson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
