Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Claire James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by angry cats talking. John White looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
