Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Takanori Gomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Pandora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pandora is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Layla. 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 Arthur Pandora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
