Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Uncomfortable Positions (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ice Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Man has chosen Lights Out as his entrance music. 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 Ice Man was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
