Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Lyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butter Sweet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lyle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sick Puppies-Youre going down. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sweet's choice of entrance music: Knock Out. 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 Butter Sweet was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
