Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Flapjacks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mestre Bimba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flapjacks comes to the cage accompanied by Michael Jackson-The Way you Make me Feel. Bimba is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Quadras by Mestre Bimba. 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 Mestre Bimba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
