Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Steele might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Freak On A Leash. 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 Dan Wade was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
