Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Uzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bosede Adwamba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uzi comes to the cage accompanied by Slipknot's Psychosocial . The crowd seem to be enjoying Adwamba's choice of entrance music: Execution Style. 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 Bosede Adwamba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
