Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choke Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by The Longest Day by Iron Maiden. Liddell has chosen Intro - DMX 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 Choke Liddell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
