Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between qushane douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and tom booker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think douglas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shut. Me. Up. 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 tom booker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
