Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Esteban Delgado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hammer has chosen Birdman - I Run This ft. LIL WAYNE 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 Jack Hammer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
