Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Wilk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Montferrand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wilk might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy- Run With The Wolfs. Montferrand has chosen Big Joe Mufferaw 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 Joseph Montferrand was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
