Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arcturus Balfour (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn comes to the cage accompanied by AC DC - Big Gun. 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 Arcturus Balfour was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
