Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yoshihiro Imanari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lance Rock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rock has chosen Guns N Roses- Sweet Child O Mine 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 Lance Rock was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
