Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heart Breaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Sionis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Breaker comes into the arena with Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J blaring out of the sound system. 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 Roman Sionis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
