Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Girth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JanPeter Balkenende (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Balkenende is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: another 1 bites the dust. 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 JanPeter Balkenende was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
