Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Leroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White has chosen Doperide by Saliva as his entrance music. 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 Jake White was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
