Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Johansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller has chosen The Game 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 Mike Miller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
