Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Silverhielm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Story (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silverhielm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Theme Tune to Islam. 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 Nick Story was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
