Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boom Shot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gilad Shalit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shalit has chosen MC Sapinho - Gilad Shalit 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 Gilad Shalit was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
