Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Boy Bubby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Dudek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dudek is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by ASTRAL PROJECTION - Mahadeva . 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 Jan Dudek was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
