Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frederic Reinhardt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ross Prohibition (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Prohibition's choice of entrance music: Remedy ~ Seether. 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 Ross Prohibition was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
