Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mark Marx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Spinx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spinx is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Eye of the Tiger. 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 Spinx was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
