Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alan Spence (ranked 587 p4p, 558 weight class) and Astro Traveller (ranked 95 p4p, 91 weight class). Spence comes into the arena with Were Coming blaring out of the sound system. 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 Astro Traveller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
