Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Buster Gloves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brett Cain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gloves comes into the arena with TNT by ACDC blaring out of the sound system. 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 Brett Cain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
