Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shake Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Sinclair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sinclair is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 50 Cent - Get Up. 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 Dennis Sinclair was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
