Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Activin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Habanero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Habanero has chosen NERD - Rockstar as his entrance music. 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 Rafael Habanero was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
