Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and mag dalena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). dalena has chosen Freak Momma by Mudhoney&Sir Mix-A-Lot 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 mag dalena was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
