Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mazaa Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Tuna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tuna has chosen Sharky + George 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 Doug Tuna was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
