Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Goerge Cantstandya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sammy Farha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Farha's choice of entrance music: Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. 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 Sammy Farha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
