Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dongmin Oh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyler Patel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patel has chosen Lupe Fiasco - The Champ Is Here 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 Kyler Patel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
