Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gristle McThornbody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Alldren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McThornbody's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tame. Alldren has chosen OK State Fight Song 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 Nate Alldren was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
