Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trent Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White has chosen Barry White - What Am I Gonna Do with You 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 Larry White was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
