Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Herman Pacquiao and Drake Aubrey. Aubrey has chosen Over - Drake as his entrance music. Pacquiao has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Drake Aubrey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
