Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luther Jones (ranked 580 p4p, 73 weight class) and TJ Guillard (ranked 3333 p4p, 378 weight class). Jones comes to the cage accompanied by One - Metallica. Guillard has chosen Duran Duran-White Lines 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 TJ Guillard was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
