Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gary White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tin Lau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White comes to the cage accompanied by Hollywood Undead - No. 5. 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 Tin Lau was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
