Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Claude LeBlanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armando Elcock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LeBlanc might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Professor Green ft. Maverick Sabre - Jungle. 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 Armando Elcock was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
