Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mahut Uno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Armstrong comes to the cage accompanied by "Bullet Soul" Switchfoot. 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 Mahut Uno was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
