Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Travis Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and gogo momo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes into the arena with Ace Hood - Get em blaring out of the sound system. momo has chosen Miles Davis - Moon Dreams 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 gogo momo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
