Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Still (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zero Udala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Udala has chosen The Beach Boys - Wouldn't it be nice 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 Zero Udala was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
