Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erik Ragnaar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ragnaar comes to the cage accompanied by Mustasch - Thank You for the Demon. Bateman has chosen Huey Lewis and The News - Hip To Be Square 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 Patrick Bateman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
