Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samson Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pookie Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has chosen Ride The Train as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Pookie Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
