Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean ORiordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wilson Tuckey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tuckey has chosen Land Down Under - Men at Work 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 Wilson Tuckey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
