Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between BJ Caspar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baron Von Barva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Von Barva is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Imperial March. 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 Baron Von Barva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
