Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chad Carlson Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Skywalker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlson Jr comes to the cage accompanied by Muse- Stockholm Syndrome. 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 Luke Skywalker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
