Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Noonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller has chosen Grandad, we love you 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 Billy Miller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
