Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Galtero El Toro (ranked 239 p4p, 37 weight class) and Bubba Jones (ranked 2509 p4p, 244 weight class). El Toro comes into the arena with Ballad of Bodacious blaring out of the sound system. Jones is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Electric Worry. 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 Bubba Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
