Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Muhammad Jabbar (ranked 4257 p4p, 395 weight class) and Barry Allen (ranked 4111 p4p, 382 weight class). Allen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Flash Theme. 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 Barry Allen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
