Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nils Holgersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holgersson comes to the cage accompanied by Theme. 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 Ben Hogan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
