Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Orville Redenbacher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Galt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Redenbacher comes to the cage accompanied by Danger Zone. Galt has chosen State of the Union by Rise Against 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 John Galt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
