Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Taalasmaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman comes to the cage accompanied by Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man. 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 Seppo Taalasmaa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
