Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Shields (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolph Lundgren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lundgren has chosen Till I Collapse 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 Dolph Lundgren was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Cerrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Schwalle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schwalle has chosen Max Payne theme 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 Oliver Schwalle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
