Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between BeeJay Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Yankowy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yankowy has chosen 1000 Flamen 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 Jon Yankowy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
