Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Freddy Fresca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and randy bain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fresca comes to the cage accompanied by Square 9. 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 randy bain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
