Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Iko Ruhian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ruhian comes to the ring accompanied by Kendang Pencak. 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 Scott Jordan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
