Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ozzy McKane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKane has chosen SAIL - AWOLNATION 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 Ozzy McKane was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
