Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eugene Bradley Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns comes to the cage accompanied by Fedor Entrance Song . 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 Jose Duran was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
