Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ippo Makunochi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoo Gun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gun has chosen Sabotage 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 Yoo Gun was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
