Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lyjoto Maskida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sal Zork (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Maskida might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Don't Fall. Zork has chosen Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors 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 Sal Zork was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
