Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Activin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Lang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lang has chosen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYs3wtIMRqY 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 James Lang was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
