Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Gautier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Reckless (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reckless is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by No Heroes by Converge. 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 Scott Reckless was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
