Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Will Filton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Shadow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Filton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Foo Fighters - In Your Honor. 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 Joe Shadow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
