Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Terry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gokou San (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terry comes to the cage accompanied by This Is Halloween by Marilyn Manson. 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 Gokou San was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
