Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Puppy Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quinton Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Love comes to the cage accompanied by Otherside by Mackemore X Ryan Lewis. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jackson's choice of entrance music: Can't be Touched. 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 Quinton Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
