Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Biggums (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biggums comes to the cage accompanied by ThunderStruck. Thompson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Helmet - Just Another Victim. 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 Calvin Thompson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
