Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ichabod Crane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marshawn Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Broken Bones - Decapitated. 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 Marshawn Lynch was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
