Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jasiek Pioncha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chase Utley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pioncha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Redemption Song (Bob Marley). 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 Chase Utley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
