Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Dvargledare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Rader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dvargledare comes to the ring accompanied by they might be giants. Rader has chosen His Own Fight Video as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Justin Rader was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
