Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Gagne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebastian Giovinco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Giovinco is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lift me up. 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 Sebastian Giovinco was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
