Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tuju Kilju (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Napoleon Dynamite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kilju's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, One Of These Mornings. 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 Napoleon Dynamite was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
