Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zaru Kayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Denton Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has chosen wolf pack as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Denton Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
