Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolaj Orlow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michaels has chosen Gimme Shelter as his entrance music. 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 Karl Michaels was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
