Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaheim Reid (ranked 257 p4p, 38 weight class) and Guido Sarducci (ranked 1202 p4p, 168 weight class). Reid comes into the arena with Sizzla - Taking Over blaring out of the sound system. Sarducci has chosen Ave Maria 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 Guido Sarducci was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
