Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Hickok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bubba Clem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hickok's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Clem is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Full Trucker Effect. 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 Bubba Clem was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
