Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matthew McPain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Scylla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McPain comes to the cage accompanied by Killing in the Name. 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 Kenny Scylla was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
