Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tad Ghostal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Kazarian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ghostal comes to the cage accompanied by Good King Wenceslas. Kazarian has chosen Limp Bizkit - My Way 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 Tony Kazarian was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
