Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lyoto Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rashad Leondo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell comes to the cage accompanied by Go Ninja- Vanilla Ice. 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 Rashad Leondo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
