Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between michel jocolyn pierre peirre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Corey Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). pierre peirre comes to the cage accompanied by Why Most I Cry. The crowd seem to be enjoying Washington's choice of entrance music: "Hawaii Five-O" by The Ventures. 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 Corey Washington was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
