Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between beej dem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tetsuo Chiba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). dem comes to the cage accompanied by born unknown. Chiba is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Chop Suey. 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 Tetsuo Chiba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
