Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson has chosen Empire State of Mind 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 Jack Johnson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between London Oswalt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lloyd Irvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oswalt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Country Boy can Survive. 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 Lloyd Irvin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
