Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby McBobby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikolaj Orlow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McBobby comes to the cage accompanied by Cold as Ice -- MOP. 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 Nikolaj Orlow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
