Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Casper Timmermans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Winston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Winston is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Lost Boy. 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 Harry Winston was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
