Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Socially Awkward Penguin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Louey Draft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penguin comes to the cage accompanied by Why Cant We Be Friends. 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 Louey Draft was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
