Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Depaoli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chin Po (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Po has chosen TURBO as his entrance music. 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 Chin Po was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
